I have been using some earbuds for music and then some big earmuff

stop normal noise and would not provide the protection I am looking
for but thought I'd ask on the off chance that I could exchange 2
things sitting on my head for just one.
thanks for any input you might have

Strange you should ask. Just last weekend a Bose rep was telling me that
their headphones were NOT designed to be used that way and not
recommended. I found a set of active noise reduction ear muffs at Harbor
Freight last year, but haven't seen them back in stock in some time

Of course they (Bose) work in noise reduction, but the legal
department isn't willing to sign off on that.
There is the remote possibility a lawsuit could erupt, somewhere,
somehow.
Besides, any published specs would show that as noise reduction muffs,
they would be like all the others, 27 dB or thereabouts.
